No Parking Please

No Parking Please, originally uploaded by Lancaster Today.

Ok, so I've hiked up the vibrancy on this photo (if you look closely, the drain-pipe is a little too blue), and I might be accused of plagiarism if you know PJ's 'Daily Dublin Photo Blog' (check it out, it deserve more attention), but I still think there is something interesting about this subject.

The story behind this photo is that I walked down a quiet city centre side street - more of a lane actually - in order to get a photo of the fire brigade's practice tower which was peeping over the top of a wall adjacent to this gate. The gate sits alongside the back entrance to the Lancaster Fire & Rescue Service, which you can see in this photo. I guess the fire engines might occasionally be taken out through this back exit.

  2. Ah, RED and bold print. Hope everyone looking for a parking space takes the "hint."

  3. I think you are forgiven for too much colour... it adds to the photo nicely!

  4. The gate doesn't look OVER-used, to put it like that... But it definitely should be visible to any would-be carparkers.

    PS You might avoid that blue pipe by marking just the gate and adjusting the red channel for that.
